(Bilingual edition) When I Grow Up is the magical new picture book, inspired by Tim’s much loved hit song from the multi-award-winning Matilda The Musical. It imagines life from a child’s viewpoint, with all the humour and poignancy of the song.
The book is beautifully illustrated by Steve Antony, an internationally published, award-winning author and illustrator of many picture books, including the Mr Panda series.
Tim says: “I feel incredibly lucky to be able to lend my lyrics to a children’s book. I adore Steve’s work, and it’s been a thrill to watch him develop his gorgeous illustrations. I can’t wait to hold a copy in my hands.”
Steve says: “I feel so lucky and honoured to be working on such an exciting and unique picture book project with Tim and the team at Scholastic. Adapting Tim’s beautiful and emotive song into a visual narrative really is a dream job and has allowed me and my inner child to indulge in a world of imagination, fun, hope and possibility.”
